(Video) 3 Memorable Moments From ATEEZ’s First Solo Concert “In Your Fantasy” In KL

Amid Raya celebrations, K-pop sensations ATEEZ (에이티즈) brought their "In Your Fantasy" world tour to Kuala Lumpur, marking their first solo concert in Malaysia. The show at Unifi Arena (formerly Axiata Arena) had many exciting moments and electrifying performances that local ATINYs (ATEEZ fans) will surely remember for years to come. Here are some of the most talked-about moments from the evening:

Yunho's Birthday Celebrations

the way he was confused so cutee happy birthday yunho 😘 #ateez #ateezinkl #ateezinmalaysia #yunho #jeongyunho

♬ Adrenaline – ATEEZ

With the concert taking place just a day before member Yunho's (윤호) birthday (23rd March 2026), it's no surprise that the show saw many wishes for the birthday boy. The members and dance crew shared birthday wishes for Yunho during their performances, sometimes even surprising the idol with the spontaneous wishes.

The crowd also sang "Happy Birthday" at one point during the concert, making sure to show their love for the now 27-year-old. Later, towards the end of the show, Yunho thanked the fans for their birthday wishes, quipping that they're his present for his special day.

Members Showing Off Their Malay Skills

♬ Jangan – Aziz Harun

Speaking of Yunho, the idol also showed off his Malay skills during the show. Right before the group walked onto the stage for the encore, he hyped fans up by asking, "Korang dah sedia? (Are you guys ready?)". That simple question sparked a wave of cheers from the local ATINYs.

The other members also tried their hands at speaking Malay, particularly including casual phrases, earning praise from fans for their dedication. Another example that stood out was when Wooyoung (우영) gave his ending speech in Malay, saying, "Terima kasih sebab enjoy persembahan kami malam ni. Korang buat kami happy sangat, ATINY." Of course, the members also charmed the fans by calling them "sayang" throughout the evening.

Solo Stages With A Show Of Respect To Locality

we love considerate kings 🥹🥹 (vid cr to wm) #ateez #ateezinkl #ateezinmalaysia #fyp

♬ Risk It All – Bruno Mars

One of the highlights of the "In Your Fantasy" tour is the members' solo stages. However, since some of these performances include a few rather risqué elements, many wonder how the idols would change things up during their KL show to respect local rules. As it turns out, the ATEEZ members did a wonderful job at adjusting their performance, making it both respectable and unique.

One example is Seonghwa's (성화) solo performance for his song, "Skin", where he switched out his usual, exposed, stage outfit for a snake-skin-patterned jacket and shirt combo. On stage, the singer also explained the change, saying he decided on the look to mimic a snake shedding its skin. Many praised the move, calling it considerate yet smart for its symbolism.

There are many more memorable moments from the show, from Hongjoong's (홍중) "NO1" remix to Mingi (민기) getting up close with fans during his solo performance of "ROAR". The members also promised to return to Malaysia soon, so let's hope they keep to their words.

Explore Heritage Through A Streetwear Lens With adidas’ Peranakan Collection

Celebrating cultural heritage, adidas Malaysia unveils the Peranakan Collection, spotlighting the Peranakan spirit where craftsmanship, individuality, and contemporary streetwear intersect. 

Inspired by the belief that heritage is not static but constantly evolving, the collection draws from the intricate design language that has long characterised Peranakan artistry. From ornate beadwork and ceramic tile patterns to delicate embroidery and symbolic motifs, these elements reflect a rich cultural identity shaped by generations of craftsmanship and creativity.

adidas reimagines these timeless Peranakan design codes as wearable statements for today. The Handball Spezial, a terrace icon first introduced in the 1970s, returns with heritage in motion, its classic T-toe silhouette reworked with Peranakan-inspired details, from retro jersey-inspired leather stripes to thoughtful accents that blend the sport DNA with cultural artistry.

Alongside the footwear, the collection introduces soft cotton graphic tees featuring a subtle Trefoil on the front and a bold back print inspired by Peranakan postage stamps. The artwork showcases cultural icons like the kebaya, manik shoes, tiffin carriers, and porcelain motifs, framed under "The Brand with the Three Stripes."

Completing the line-up is a durable cotton canvas tote bag designed for everyday use. It features dual-sided graphics – the iconic Trefoil on one side and a Peranakan-inspired cabinet illustration on the other. Also featured are Made For You pins and charms inspired by Peranakan motifs, designed to add a playful, personal touch to each piece.

Together, these embroidered details, enamel charms, and patterned motifs reinterpret traditional craftsmanship through a contemporary streetwear lens, inviting wearers to express identity not as a relic of the past, but as a living, evolving narrative.

Through the collection, adidas Malaysia invites everyone to connect with heritage in a way that feels personal and contemporary, celebrating Peranakan culture as a dynamic tradition that continues to evolve across generations.

The Peranakan Collection is now available at selected adidas stores and online. For more information, visit the website.

VERIVERY’s Agency Slammed For Holding Inappropriate “Date Event” With Member Kangmin

K-pop entertainment agencies are no stranger to holding unique events to promote their idols' new releases. However, Jellyfish Entertainment recently sparked backlash for their recent event plans for VERIVERY (베리베리) member Kangmin's (강민) solo debut, with some calling it blatant objectification.

On 23rd March 2026 (Sunday), Jellyfish Entertainment announced a special event to commemorate the release of Kangmin's solo debut later this week, on 26th March (Thursday). The promotional event is dubbed the Lucky Ticket event. There will be multiple winners, with each tier receiving different benefits, all of which are "dates" with the idol.

The one pink ticket winner will have the opportunity to go on a private one-on-one date with Kangmin. Meanwhile, 21 gold ticket winners will go on a group date with the singer at the Han River. An additional 250 black ticket winners will have the chance to go on a movie date with the star, with a separate chance to win some of his personal items during the event.

Unsurprisingly, the event sparked outrage among fans, with many calling it exploitative. Some also argued that the "dates" promote parasocial behaviour and objectify Kangmin by forcing him to partake in paid companionship. Others even likened the situation to Jellyfish Entertainment treating their idol like an escort.

Fans also expressed concern for Kangmin's safety, noting that stalkers or obsessive fans may try to join the event to get close to the idol. Given the nature of the event, many fans are calling for Jellyfish Entertainment to cancel or reconsider the event. However, at the moment, the agency appears to be proceeding with its plans.

While idol events that prioritise fan interactions are common in the K-pop industry, many agree that Jellyfish Entertainment has gone too far with this Lucky Ticket event. Let's hope the agency will reconsider the event and focus on promoting Kangmin's solo debut more appropriately.

Disney’s “The Lion King” Live In Concert Is Happening In KL This June

Disney's "The Lion King" Live in Concert, featuring Hans Zimmer's Academy Award-winning score, is making its historic Malaysian debut this June. Brought to life by the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) Malaysia under the baton of its Resident Conductor, Mr. Eric Lee, the concert will be staged at the Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, with two performances on Saturday, 13th June 2026, at 2.30pm and 8pm. 

Bringing together three generations – from children to grandparents – fans of Disney's "The Lion King" in Malaysia will be immersed in the power of the legendary film through the rich, resonant sound of a full orchestra.

The original 1994 animated film features unforgettable music by a notable team of Oscar and Grammy winners, including superstar Elton John, lyricist Tim Rice, and composer Hans Zimmer, with African vocal and choir arrangements by South African producer and composer Lebo M ("Rhythm of the Pride Lands").

"The Lion King" journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolises his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. Scar, Mufasa's brother and former heir to the throne, has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is riddled with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. With help from his long-lost friend, Nala, and a curious pair of newfound friends, Pumbaa and Timon, Simba must figure out how to face his past and take back what is rightfully his.

Christy Chung Apologises After Daughter Cayla Faced Backlash For Bathroom Selfie

Christy Chung's (锺丽缇) daughters have many times garnered netizens' attention with their beauty and model-like physiques. However, one of them recently sparked backlash after sharing an unfortunate bathroom selfie.

Over the weekend, 16-year-old Cayla (张凯琳) shared an image on social media that sparked a heated debate online. The photo largely appears to be a selfie taken in a bathroom, with the teenager posing in front of a mirror. However, the background shows a woman sitting on the toilet. Many believed the woman in question was Cayla's sister, Jaden, sparking criticism towards Cayla for invading someone's privacy.

Additionally, some pointed out that the social media personality covered her cleavage in the image to avoid overexposure. This revelation sparked more criticism towards Cayla for prioritising her image over that of others in the same room. However, some netizens defended the teen, arguing that it may have been an honest mistake. The image was quickly taken down, with Christy later releasing an apology.

In her statement dated 23rd March 2026 (Sunday), Christy clarified that the woman in the picture was Cayla's classmate, not her daughter Jaden. She added that she felt deeply sorry and remorseful for causing distress and unease to the classmate and her family over the invasion of privacy. Christy also noted that she blamed herself for the incident, taking responsibility for her daughter's mistake.

The actress admitted that her inadequate education is at fault, adding that she failed to communicate with her children due to her busy schedule. However, Christy said that she has since spoken to Cayla about the incident, emphasising the importance of privacy and respect. She added that she and her family will be more careful in the future to avoid a repeat of the incident.

Christy also thanked the public for their concern, adding that she'll work harder to be a qualified mother to her daughters. Netizens have mostly accepted the apology, but hope that the family will be more cautious with what they share online.
